Anyone want to post their turtle here, be it new, old, extinct, they seem tobe too many threads on it. Just a thought.

Thanks to all for sharing.

For all of you in the Philippines that already have the new SRP777s, who did you purchase yours from?

Did any purchase through the seller "The Top Watch"? If so, please let us know how the transaction went.

All the best!

Price??? LOL!!! Where the heck can you find one in the US? I live in the Tampa area. We just had a new Seiko store (yes the WHOLE store) built with a giant Seiko sign out front. The only watches they have are cheap battery powered quartz. I would love to try on one of these "turtles " on. I think they look cool. The good news is there are a few GS's here.

Sweet piece jkchua.

just finished modding my old 6309-7040. Still needs a proper bezel insert and likely a new crystal because this one is a bit scratched.

Mine just arrived from Malaysia. The strap is an absolute dust magnet, but it is a stunning watch. Here's a comparison shot next to my 007:

So stoked I'll actually be able to see them in the flesh. Of course I'll have to pick perfect specimens:-d Hopefully Sears will receive the Pepsi & the Blue as well.

Cheers

1978ish. Got new hands and dial in the 1980's, had its first overhaul 11 months ago. Actually, it needed it about two years ago. So make that 1978-2013 for its first run of service free operation. Had Jack do the overhaul, he put in a new sapphire crystal (mine looked like a beaver gnawed on it). Also got a new insert. The face and hands were so crumbly though, that I couldn't stand it, and just bit the bullet for new face and hands, doing something completely different..... And it gets regular wear!

Where does it say that? Says "sold by: Sears" on the sales page, and in the cart for me?

I am still waiting for the reasonable parallel import to come in, then I getting all four .
Well... what can i say... we're on the same boat, waiting to nab the four turtles swimming from Japan to this little warm and cozy island along the equator!!!
Duh... i guess will have to wait for the J-Turtles for a period of 6 mths or so... due to that long distance from Japan... Ever seen Finding Nemo?

Someone over at SG is already selling double dome sapphire for the new turtles. Nice look for a new watch :)

Go to Sears through befrugal for 6% cashback, and "watches10", saves an additional few dollars off over the other code.
